The MultiTasking Rover: A planetary terrestrial exploration rover system. It was in the area of space robotics. I worked alone on it and took me 5 years.

The video was made sometime during the summer of 2005. The cables coming of are motor/logic power and comms. It now supports wifi and has 220 Wh of lithium polymer on-board. I will soon be making the second generation model:))

What is not shown on the video is: -Full 360 body rotation (around the axis that links the two pairs of legs to the body) -Tip-over recovery -Wheel-Walking -Picking-up tools using hooks on the body. In the Pic you can see a Battery Pack being picked-up

Making it is the fun part, its the repetitive rigorous scientific testing and the half dozen science papers on it that gets dreary. I finished building it 2.5 years ago, and all I've been doing since is testing it and writing papers.

Does everywhere include reading through a mostly useless pile of papers and diplomatics, so you can see what others have though and what they did.... etc etc etc...And science gets more to politics etc etc etc....Same stuff everywhere I guess!!!
